on the tandem its opposite.. smaller on top.. larger on the bottom?? would they both be the same type fly.. i.e. both clousers??
my impression (minds eye) is a sinking line will drag the fly deeper than what he said as as example (1 foot) before the loop downstream can be formed .. is my minds eye off on this one.. ??
does it all happen so fast that the fly doesnt have time to sink too deep and that is what he meant about getting the timing down??
you know how Joan Wulffs video shows how to do an upstream cast so you dont get that drag.. could you reverse it in this instance and flip the line downstream.. maybe causing the loop to form faster???
I like the idea of the technique and know of at least one stream in TN Ill be trying it out on this summer..
dont know about ya'll but I can also see this technique working well on stillwater from a tube or toon.. turned into shoreline.. cast.. let it settle a bit.. jerk.. realign.. settle.. jerk..much like a spinning or baitcasting angler would do with say a plastic shad ... but maybe on a floating line since you dont have the downstream loop to help you out... what do ya'll think??
also.. may I suggest one thing.. especially on this post.. that it be copied or repeated on the main ff'ing forum.. Im sure it would be of great benefit to all over there as well..
